The story of this Supreme Court term was the conservative justices giving Trump most of what he asked for, and inviting him to come back soon for the rest

BREAKING: Eleventh Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, upholds injunction blocking Florida from enforcing its 2022 Stop WOKE Act in the university context. The majority opinion is from Judge Britt Grant, a Trump appointee: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I don't think it failed.

NEW: The ICE office that customarily probes employee misconduct is being refocused to investigate ICE critics, opening hundreds of "doxing and threat" cases and subpoenaing tech companies to unmask anonymous posters. Detention facility inspections, meanwhile, are plummeting. by @regret.bsky.social

I appear to be in Chicago.

The announcers just referred to a player’s “amateur dramatics routine” 😂😂😂😂

Yikes. (Dulles Airport, generally)

“It is hard to think of another single event in the last decade that has had such far-reaching and sweeping and unintended global consequences as Jim Comey’s press conference.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

“Mitch McConnell remaining technically alive for an extra three weeks because of a manipulative procedural maneuver is exactly how he would have wanted to go out.”

“.. Members of the group Patriot Front ride the metro on the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence in Washington, D.C.” @reuters.com

The justices that upheld birthright citizenship in 1898 were racist men in a racist era who still could not avoid the plain text of the Constitution. What changed between is that the GOP now sees multiracial democracy as a threat rather than an ideal or aspiration www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

“a conspiracy to confuse voters” is also known as quintessential political speech protected by the First Amendment. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

I am very surprised that they got a DC grand jury to indict this. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/u…

*taps the mic* there is another way

“The party base is looking for fighters and disrupters—and will cast aside solid politicians who they don’t think will aggressively battle Donald Trump, MAGA, and right-wing billionaires.” Latest from @perrybaconjr.bsky.social

4 year old just hit me with “BART station? more like BUTT station”

This lawsuit was a cynical, dishonest, and confused effort to punish tech researchers and others for exercising core First Amendment rights. It should have been thrown out a long time ago, but better late than never.

Okay but what’s in it for Substack aside from wanting to platform the widest variety of cranks possible, oh I see, that is the point, I figured it out while typing this

there were signs

Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikes.

Worth the read for some 👀👀 - like that Schumer et al tried to get Talarico to run for governor instead. Zooming out, that these primaries (& the House ones) are happening at all is proof the establishment has lost control. www.notus.org/democrats/ch...

With her victory over Rep. Diana DeGette, 29-year-old Melat Kiros is the second democratic socialist to beat an incumbent progressive Democratic House member this month. https://bit.ly/4p1qxNB

lol "The super PAC backing Bennet through outside spending, Rocky Mountain Way, more than made up the gap. Rocky Mountain Way has reported a haul of more than $11.4 million. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg alone accounted for $5.1 million of that." www.denverpost.com/2026/06/30/c...

me reading your posts

If you actually care about Supreme Court reform, posting that the Supreme Court made a good decision here and that they stood up to Trump is surely the dumbest possible strategy

Figure skating remains monumentally corrupt.

Am I the only one who finds it very hard to believe Nina has ever even seen the CMS

Anyhow, I’m out of Yikeses until 2031 at the earliest.

Legit the most likely outcome.

I was alive when the law professors after the argument were making 8-1 and 7-2 predictions. So people need to re-assess their priors and deal with reality.

Nobody ever lost money betting on SCOTUS being worse than expected.

5-4 for what it explicitly says in the constitution is incredible. They were this close to undoing the civil war entirely. bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

Clarence Thomas's concurring opinion in the trans sports ban case in West Virginia contains some of the ugliest transphobic stuff I have ever seen in a legal opinion. Straight-up gleeful. Vile man. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
